so far, so good.

hello. sorry im a terrible blogger and havent been keeping up with my daily posts.

Lets see, well, everything has been great. I absolutely adore it here and it hasn't even been a week. Usually people dont like things at first and then get used to it, not me. I loved it from the first second. I have my metro card, I know how the avenues and streets run, and I know exactly why they named this place Manhattan. Oh my.

Yesterday I had my interview. I think I came across too obnoxious and hyper because she made it a point to let me know that New York is much more fast paced than Miami is and that people here like to get to the point. No more of my elaborate stories and using my gift of gib, I need to start cutting it short. Something Ive done all my life until recently when I began working with the American Cancer Society and started using elaborate language and Best Friending people in 2 minutes. Im going to have to brainwash myself to not be uber sweet and fake, this might be tough.

After my interview and my Thank You email I decided to walk past my apartment and just keep walking until I got tired. It didnt land me too far. I ended in Madisson Square Gardens, found a perfect bench, and just sat in silence for a good 30 minutes. All around the garden people were just sitting alone just observing. It was wonderful, right up my alley. I felt like I was back in Paris and that made me tres tres happy. Ive been using my phone as a personal laptop because im the idiot who didn't bring it. I dont know where the reasoning came from that made me bring random clothes i dont wear, random shoes i dont wear, and belts and hats I thought I threw away; yet I didn't bring anything I actually need in life. Instead I thought "hey mom, why dont you ship all these unnecessary things to me 2 weeks later?" Dumb.

Along in this magical box of unnecessary things that will be arriving next week is one of my gala dresses. Last night we went to a secret society "Eyes Wide Shut" type of party at some restaurant. Im kidding, but thats what I thought it would be like before we got there. Its a group of business men who all gather together for monthly networking events. I was pretty skeptical at first and thought Lindsey was taking me to some brothel/virgin offering type of party but it turned out to be great. Lots of fun businessy people having a great time. Good food, great company. I met Jeremy who is a Parisian who lived in Miami for five years. We spoke about our common interest in champagne sparklers and people dancing on tables, something not too common in NY. People here are more "chill" in their partying. He said this place Bagatelle was like MINT except it takes place on a Saturday at 3pm, im pretty excited.

Karin, Lindsey's friend who's boyfriend is a member of the mens group, is great. We hit it off right away and I can see a great friendship forming between us. Shes witty as hell and we both have a common interest in making fun of lindsey. Just kidding, L.

After the secret society party, we went to Griffin, some place that will be opening next week at Ganesvoort. By that point I was already getting tired and contemplating going home but I stuck at it. I met some really interesting people who are involved in philanthropy. I was invited to some Operation Smile benefit tonight at Ciprianis and of course, anything that would have been appropriate to wear to that is now stuck in a box in the Midwest on a UPS plane. Im off to brave the stores....until next time...xoxo.
